- Abstract
- Local acceptance is key when implementing climate technologies. One necessary technology to mitigate climate change is land-based Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). In Denmark, earlier experience with the technology ended in shutdown due to local resistance. But now CCS plays a significant role in the Danish climate reduction goals; without CCS the goal won't be met. The academic field is very limited in the case of Denmark but now the technology is at its renaissance with the first land-based location for CO2 storage in the current natural gas storage in Stenlille. Therefore, this thesis aims to study the willingness to implement the storage of carbon as a climate technology of the local people and local community in the Stenlille area.... (More)

The academic field is very limited in the case of Denmark but now the technology is at its renaissance with the first land-based location for CO2 storage in the current natural gas storage in Stenlille. Therefore, this thesis aims to study the willingness to implement the storage of carbon as a climate technology of the local people and local community in the Stenlille area. With a hermeneutic approach, the case of Stenlille is studied as a contextual case through qualitative interviews. The locals’ perception and framing of benefits and risks serves as an indicator of their willingness towards the climate-technology. The study concludes that the locals and the local community are positive towards the technology. A broad spectrum of framings related to risks and benefits is present but the ones that are most present are an altruistic frame and a climate frame. The locals are willing to implement the technology primarily considering climate being a societal problem that needs to be tackled. Trust in the authorities and experience with similar technology of storing natural gas plays a key role in the positive attitude towards the technology. The CCS technology is expected to be implemented at a great scale in the years to come. The study contributes to the field by giving insight into how the technology is viewed as a climate technology and important factors for reaching local acceptance. (Less)

- De lokale og lokalsamfundet i Stenlille området er generelt positivt indstillet og villige til at imødekomme CO2-lagring som en teknologi til at afbøde klimakrisen. Det er der flere årsager til. Det skyldes primært en generel samfundsbevidsthed og en klimabevidsthed
Samfundsbevidstheden kommer til udtryk i en fremhævning af, at lagringsressourcen under dem bør anvendes til samfundets nytte. Klimabevidstheden fremhæver teknologiens klimapotentiale. Derudover fremhæves også mulige fordele, som kan afstedkomme af teknologien i fremtiden, såsom arbejdspladser og nye energimuligheder.

Det er der flere årsager til. Det skyldes primært en generel samfundsbevidsthed og en klimabevidsthed
Samfundsbevidstheden kommer til udtryk i en fremhævning af, at lagringsressourcen under dem bør anvendes til samfundets nytte. Klimabevidstheden fremhæver teknologiens klimapotentiale. Derudover fremhæves også mulige fordele, som kan afstedkomme af teknologien i fremtiden, såsom arbejdspladser og nye energimuligheder. Fremhævningen af klima og fordele i fremtiden, er især også til stede i lyset af samfundsbevidstheden, og hvad der gavner samfundet bedst. Den positive indstilling er påvirket af tillid til autoriteter og myndigheder, samt positiv erfaring med lignende teknologi i form af det eksisterende naturgaslager. De lokale og lokalsamfundet er dog ikke kun positivt, men udtrykker også en række bekymringer overfor mulige risici. Udtrykte risici omhandler, hvorvidt løsningen er den mest omkostningseffektive i klimaregnskabet, samt hvorvidt det kan lede til jordskælv, vulkanudbrud, opsivning eller grundvandsforurening. I holdningsdannelsen virker følelser, samt opfattelsen af morale og gevinstmuligheder navigerende. Det er primært samfundsbevidst morale, og ikke nødvendigvis en klimamorale, der er til stede. Derfor vurderes den store villighed overfor teknologien til at være baseret på opfattelsen af teknologien som en samfundsbidragende teknologi, nærmere end en klimateknologi. De danske klimareduktionsmål baseres blandt andet på CO2-lagring i undergrunden. Men teknologien er ikke ny i dansk kontekst. I 2011 blev et lagringsprojekt lukket grundet lokal modstand. Den lokale accept er derfor afgørende i implementeringen af teknologien. Nu, 12 år senere, skal det forsøges igen. Denne gang i det eksisterende naturgaslager ved Stenlille. Går det godt i Stenlille, kan det skabe præcedens for de næste lokationer. Derfor undersøger studiet, gennem et kvalitativt casestudie af Stenlille området og interviews, hvordan de lokale og lokalsamfundet opfatter og fremhæver fordele og risici ved CO2-lagringen under dem, som indikator for deres villighed for at imødekomme klimateknologien. Det kan give et tidligt billede af deres villighed, og hvilke aspekter der er relevante hos dem som lokale til en lagringslokation. Der opfordres til at resultaterne fungerer som inspiration for videre studier inden for feltet. Derudover kan projektets resultater også give indspark til den yderligere implementering af teknologien. (Less)
